So, thats how I got to the exam hall and sat at the end of the middle row. I have no idea why one of the invigilators took special interest in the area where I sat. But, I wasnt cheating, rest assured. Someone kept whispering my name like a rat conversing with its brethren. Wetin? Na me know am pass ba? The girl to my right faced her blank sheet with a blank expression for one full hour. I wasnt watching her for one hour though. I noticed her after one hour with her blank front page. The youngest invigilator in the hall, a lady, has the keenest eye, I think. She keeps spotting people that even a spy camera would miss and asking them to leave their seats or stand up for some minutes, depending on the gravity of your conversing. Ol boy! Two hours gone, man pickin still dey question two. I hurry over the next few lines and move on. The hall is emptier now. The scholars have all left the hall and theres much space. Dr. Mrs. Jamgbadi, the one that can form vex for Africa, the one that taught us Oral Literature with the passion of the passion fruit, et al, she spots me and sends me to another seat to fill up the spaces. I move on and in no time, I round off my writing and submit. The next and last exam is on Monday. I spot a few familiar faces outside, greet the ones greetable and pretend I didnt see the others. You know... My stomach churned. Hunger rumbled through the course of my tummy. Hostel! Pots empty. My roommate cooked beans. I grabbed a spoon and made to help myself. The first spoon was spiced with onions. My stomach churned again; this time, in disgust. I headed for Andrews room and met Confidence preparing noodles in a large quantity. I grabbed a spoon and sat in anticipation. The noodles were soon ready and we sit round the pot; all four of us, and consume the meal, washing it down with one sachet of water each. I returned to my room to prepare for Editorial meeting at Staff School and realized there was still time. I grab my phone, a Nokia110 and type this. La fin. 29th November, 2014.
